We love Boo at the Zoo, it's one of our favorite Halloween events. This year we went on a Thursday night (13th) which was a rainy day. It seriously stopped raining just as we reached the zoo so the place was empty. That proved to be a good thing because Mackenzie hates crowds and she really liked going to the different booths and asked to have her picture taken in front of the castle and with Elmo and the princesses.
Clara did great! I nursed her before we went into the zoo and then she fell asleep after a bit in the carrier. It's so much nicer to carry her on top of my stomach instead of inside!
Mackenzie is really obsessed with Princesses right now. She loves any story that begins with "Once upon a time" and ends with "And they lived happily ever after." Anyways, she's wanted to be a princess for Halloween for awhile and right before we left for the zoo she put this Dorothy dress on (I bought at Target on clearance last Halloween for dress up- she doesn't even know who Dorothy is) and told everyone she was a princess. So no, I didn't forget the braids and ruby slippers, I just wasn't planning on a little Dorothy.
This is really Harry Potter's castle but she didn't care. Of all the pictures, this is the one she wanted most.
I just love this picture. They're both so dang cute and best buddies. I picked a good one!
This week I was feeling ambitious because Keith had Monday and Tuesday off so we decided it was finally time to buckle down and potty train. We warned Mackenzie Sunday night that we were taking away the diapers. On Monday we told her to tell her last diaper goodbye and put a pair of underwear on her. She was MAD. She threw a big half hour screaming tantrum then decided to go potty and that was pretty much it. We've had a few accidents but overall, she rocked it! It's so nice that she's so independent now and doesn't need much help. Keith was also a huge help and definitely contributed to her success.
